Trinity Metro announced the appointment of Anette Landeros as its Chief Strategy Officer, effective December 2024. This newly created position reflects Trinity Metro’s commitment to taking its innovation and strategic planning to the next level as it continues to expand services and enhance connectivity across the region.
Landeros brings a wealth of expertise to the role. As president and CEO of the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, she led the organization to new heights of success.
“Anette advanced the Hispanic Chamber beyond all expectations,” said Rosa Navejar, former CEO of the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “I have no doubt she will do the same for Trinity Metro working with Rich and his team.”
Before her tenure at the Chamber, Landeros spent 12 years with the U.S. Department of Transportation in the Office of the Inspector General. Her extensive background in both community leadership and transportation makes her the ideal person to help guide Trinity Metro’s ambitious growth plans.
“As we continue to set new records with Trinity Metro TEXRail and Trinity Railway Express ridership and see rapid growth in the popularity of the Orange Line, this is the perfect time to bring Anette on board,” said Rich Andreski, president and CEO of Trinity Metro. “Landeros has an incredible understanding of the Fort Worth community and transportation. Her leadership will be instrumental in shaping our strategic initiatives and driving forward-thinking solutions for the future.”
Landeros joins Trinity Metro at a time of unprecedented momentum. The agency’s services, including Trinty Metro TEXRail, Trinity Railway Express, and the Orange Line, are breaking ridership expectations. New initiatives are underway to expand the network further. As Chief Strategy Officer Landeros will oversee the development of strategies that support both immediate goals and long-term growth.
“Transportation is the backbone of opportunity, and Trinity Metro is leading the way in creating a connected, vibrant future for our region,” Landeros said. “I look forward to helping the agency reach new milestones and ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional services that benefit our entire community.”
As Trinity Metro looks ahead to an exciting future, the creation of the Chief Strategy Officer role underscores the agency’s focus on innovation, strategic partnerships, and community impact.
